I've also done a few Colt vs SW tests.
I have about twice as many Smiths as Colts but like them both equally. I've always been a non-combatant in the Ford vs Chevy, 9mm vs .45, Colt vs S&W, Glock vs The World, Tastes great vs Less Filling wars.
Any way , here's the result of testing 3 inch barrelled model 36 and Detective Special at 7 yards, 4 inch barrelled model 10 and Metropolitan at 15, and 6 inch barrelled model 14 and Officer's Model Match also at 15 yards.
If I recall correctly, I was using 158 grain LSWC over 4.2 grains of 231 in all guns.
While the guns feel different in the hand with factory grips and trigger action also quite different, the results are remarkably similar. If I hadn't labeled the targets at the range, I'd had a hard time telling which went with which gun.
